When it comes to losing weight, there are many, many approaches you can take – some of them will work while others definitely will not.

Runners especially need to be mindful of their approach to weight loss because certain methods might help you lose weight but will impair your running performance in big ways.

In this episode of the podcast, I go over 5 dieting disasters runners need to avoid if you want to lose weight without completely destroying your running performance.

I’ll be talking about calorie-restrictive diets, the problem with the types of foods you might be turning to, carbohydrate management, overtraining, and one-size-fits-all approaches.
